As you can tell by my lack of blogging, I have not been salsa dancing for a while. However, I thought an appropriate topic to get my readers involved and  ”moving to the music” is to write about financial challenges.   Everyone is focused on the economy. Over the next few weeks, I am going to share tips and strategies on dealing with financial challenges. I am not going to write about the happenings in the physical world - you read and hear enough about foreclosures, the stock market and bail outs from the media.I am not going to give advice on 401ks, retirements accounts, bankruptcies or any of those topics that CNN, MSNBC and Fox news can comment on. I am going to write about you and me. Surviving and thriving in this environment is an “inside job”. There have been times in my life when I have messed up, screwed up and just gotten it wrong when it comes to finances. There have been times when my financial world has been rocked and the circumstances were out of my control such as during hurricanes and illness. There have been times when I have extended myself - or I should say overextended myself - to be of assistance to someone only to have it backfire on my own financial health.  And, there are more times than not that I got it right! And, there are more times than not that a silver lining came from a cloudy and dark situation. So I am “putting myself out there.” Hopefully, you will be able to laugh a little and learn alot  - or vice versa! Either way, send me an e-mail or comment and let me know your challenges and achievements…or a topic you want me to address. First topic will be (drumroll please!) Personal and professional boundaries in financial relationships.
